Hello,<br />
<br />
A company has asked me to install and configure an Exchange 2000 sp3 server. This server is located behind a cisco pix firewall. It has a private ip address. Its function is to send and deliver email throughout the company and the world. On friday i will be transferring DNS authority to their ISP. We will have 2 mx records for fault tolerance. <br />
I've decided on the following naming format:<br />
<br />
MX &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;my_domain.com. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;smart host1.&lt;isp_domain&gt;.com. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;30<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp;MX &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;my_domain.com. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;smart host2.&lt;isp_domain&gt;.com. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;20<br />
MX &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;my_domain.com. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;exchange.my_domain.com. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;10<br />
&nbsp; A &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;exchange.my_domain.com. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx<br />
<br />
Is this correct?<br />
<br />
Also where do I configure the Exchange server name to be exchange.my_domain.com?<br />
<br />
Appreciate the help,<br />
<br />
